YANKEES WIN THE SERIESPENNANT
Record Crowd of 300,000 Saw Series�Receipts Total Over $1,063,000�Six Games.
New York�Beaten, crushed after one of the most spectacular world�s Beries fights in history, the New York Giants surrendered to the Yankees the world's championship banner they have flown for the past two years. And with this record-shattering million dollar title batte at an end, the emblem of supremacy flutters atop the Yankee stadium, greatest and costliest monument of the diamond.
The Yankees won the sixth and final game at the Polo Grounds, lair of the Giants, by coming from behind and scoring five runs in a dramatic, pulse-gripping eighth inning rally Just whefl it seemed that the McGraw men, fighting desperately, with their backs to the wall, would tie the series and force a seventh contest to decide the struggle. The final score was 6 to 4.
Thus the American league cham* pionship swept to their third successive triumph, completed the rout of the once proud and mighty Giant machine and, by the decisive margin Of four games to two, gained their first wqrld�s title in more than two decades of embattled history.
Thus, too, was written into the annals of the national game, a struggle for �the highest stakes it has ever known, a gigantic spectacle eclipsing all previous records, that was witnessed by more than 300.000 fans who paid omre than $1,063,000 in gate receipts.
